Thriving Alcohol-Free with Mocktail Mom
Are you afraid the fun will end when you quit drinking? Are you nervous about what you will drink instead of your favorite alcoholic beverage? Welcome to the Thriving Alcohol-Free podcast with Deb, the Mocktail Mom. This is the place for delightful conversations about non-alcoholic cocktails and the joy of sober living. We celebrate authentic freedom of life without alcohol. There are many great podcasts about getting sober, but in this podcast, we will focus on the delicious world of non-alcoholic options and the fun of living each day without a “mommy wine headache.” After almost nine years of trying to moderate and promising "I will just have one," Deb broke up with Chardonnay and loves to share the freedom & fun of an alcohol-free lifestyle. You, too, can thrive and be free from alcohol. Join Deb’s membership & make mocktails together during her weekly virtual Happy Hours, plus gain access to her beginner mocktail course.

Thriving Alcohol-Free with Mocktail Mom
Ep 11 Meet Marnie Rae: Founder of National Mocktail Week, Thriving & Sober with Stage IV Cancer Diagnosis
I am still sky-high from meeting with my guest, Marnie Rae. I felt as if I'd met up with a long-lost friend during our podcast recording. Marnie is an inspiration as she thrives & remains sober, living with a Stage IV Lung cancer diagnosis.
She is a Pacific NW mom of 3, a business owner alongside her husband, and a blogger in the sober and alcohol-free space. Marnie has been sober for 20+ years and started her blog in 2018 to showcase mocktails and the need for alcohol-free beverage options. Marnie believes that we need more options for non-drinkers, BUT her primary message is about community, drink inclusivity, and making not drinking NORMAL. In 2020 she stepped away from the mocktails and her blog to focus on her mental and physical health, and then in 2021 was very unexpectedly diagnosed with Stage IV Lung cancer. Today she’s focusing on her health and trying to figure out what life looks like with a cancer diagnosis and as a new retiree. You can find her on social media, her blog, and her Substack newsletter, sharing her journey with you as a reminder of our blessings in life…there are so many if we are paying attention.
